Windows: View "all" permissions of a specific user or group

For a Windows domain, is there a way to see for a certain user or group, where the user/group has permissions?

Primarily: List which files / folders the user can access on a certain network share. (Kind of a recursive "effective permissions") However, other permissions would be cool as well.

I believe I've seen such a tool in action, but I can't remember anything beyond that - so this might be a false memory.

Recommendations?

Windows Sysinternals has a tool AccessEnum which states: "While the flexible security model employed by Windows NT-based systems allows full control over security and file permissions, managing permissions so that users have appropriate access to files, directories and Registry keys can be difficult. There's no built-in way to quickly view user accesses to a tree of directories or keys. AccessEnum gives you a full view of your file system and Registry security settings in seconds, making it the ideal tool for helping you for security holes and lock down permissions where necessary." Good Luck!

The net user command might be what you are locking for. The syntax is as follows:

net user /domain [username]

view all login user group (nested too):

DSQUERY USER -name %Username% | DSGET USER -memberof -expand | DSGET GROUP -sid -samid | more

view all user group (nested too):

DSQUERY USER -name <user name> | DSGET USER -memberof -expand | DSGET GROUP -sid -samid | more

view all memberof group (nested too):

DSQUERY GROUP -name "Nected Group Set of resources 1" | DSGET GROUP -memberof -expand | DSGET GROUP -sid -samid

view all members group (nested too):

DSQUERY GROUP -name "Nected Group Set of resources 1" | DSGET GROUP -members -expand | DSGET GROUP -sid -samid

view curent user permission, see too /Z /V ... /R options:

GPRESULT /USER %username%

view curent user prop:

dsquery * -filter "(samAccountName=%username%)" -attr *

You can use also ADSISearcher:

([ADSISearcher]"(&(ObjectCategory=User)(cn=Lastname, Firstname))").FindOne().properties

This will return only the permissions of the user but in full list view
